About
My name is Stephanie and I am a 44 year old cancer survivor. In June 2005, I was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. Despite the best treatment plan and doctors, the small tumor spread. In March 2007 I was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic disease. Our goal is to get this disease into remission and enjoy the time we have. I battle this daily with faith and the support of family and friends. Without faith, I would never get out of bed and I would have little to look forward to.
I married the greatest guy on earth, John, and we have two teenagers, Jennifer & David. We have family and friends all across the United States. John comes from a large family of seven kids from Minnesota. His family is gracious and kind. There are lots of nieces and nephews. It is always a great time when we get the group together. Our last gathering was for Rachel & Cory’s wedding, May 2007. This photo is the seven kids and parents taken at the lake.

My family is local in Texas. I have two sisters: a brother-in-law, three nieces, two nephews and one great niece. They all support us in prayer. Above is a photo of five generations. My grandmother is 94. We are blessed. I have created this site to communicate with friends and family; sharing my thoughts, photos and gifts from God. I hope you find it helpful, inspiring and are able to see the many blessing Gods has for each of us.
